Module 5: Dietary Sustainability

Food production causes 25 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. How can diets become more sustainable for the planet? One of the most important challenges of our time is how to produce food and eat in the context of the climate crisis. There are many aspects of this question, including what a sustainable diet means, what food security means, and how legumes can play a role in meeting human nutrition needs. In addition, this module explores mathematical models of deforestation and the governance of the food system.
